    Here's one CC'er who will get to see a lot more of Francis if he comes to the Wizards.

    If you want a team to be yours, Steve, this is it. 'Cause it sure ain't nobody else's.

    Dude, that was pretty sick. Kinda funny, and I get your point, but man...pretty gross. Not everyone is like you.

    Would love to see him return to DC, one because it would make him happy, and two, because I will likely be moving there next year and it would be fun to watch a familiar face even if he's unlikely to elevate the quality of basketball at the MCI Center. Doubt the Magic would do it though unless Kwame was included.

    MCGRADY trade Hold up....

    The reason this trade is taking long, is because they are trying to find a place where to send Francis. They are trying to ship francis to Washington or Seattle..incase anyone didnt know.

    Ray Allen swap for Steve Francis

    I just heard some dude chime in with Matt Jackson, that there was a possible trade that would involve these two. I did not hear the whole broadcast, did anyone else? Lets hope this isnt true, we need McGrady and Gaines, and Howard is still a decent PF.

    Yes.

    I believe the guy you were referring to is the show assistant or producer reporting on the rumour that just hit the station involving a Steve and Ray Allen swap.

    For some weird reason he refused to go into details..............

    what are you talking about?

    They are talking about Orlando trading Francis to Seatle for Ray Allen, or Washington for???

    Has nothing to do with the Rockets.

    I know the longer it takes to seal the gentlemen's agreement the more likely the pontential for a snag.

    A formal or rather pseudo-formal announcement just tightens the convenant or whatever you want to call. You don't want to give the like of Phoenix, Dallas, Indiana, et al any hope at all.

    That right ther is the crux of the get it done now posture.....

    Still, you are condemning a guy for not wanting to be traded to the same team T-Mac is forcing his way out of.

    Please Steve! Come to Seattle! He would make the Sonics worth watching again.

    Is it possible for the Rockets to get in the Steve Francis sweepstakes? What could we send to Orlando to take another disgruntled player off their hands?
